some feathered creatures
twist cumbersome shapes
into cumbersome poses
and yet secure
the magic of elegance#tanka

personal struggle with no answer...

It happens outside this site too, Anne. I am a 75 year old ex secondary English/History teacher-retired. I began my retirement in hospital. Getting back to living has been a battle. My son-in-law demeans/makes fun of me constantly, often in front of his children. So far I'm calm.
